Where Quetzal is different

The week arrives planned and written

Quetzal reads your website and brand kit, plans the week and writes every post in your voice. You review what it made instead of starting from an empty calendar.

Next week is planned from last week's results

Every post is measured after it goes out, and what worked for your own accounts shapes what Quetzal plans next. You do not have to read a report to benefit from it.

LinkedIn written to its own rules

LinkedIn posts follow a dedicated engine: one point for one reader, a hook from a fixed set of proven mechanisms, a single clear ask at the end and no hashtags. Your other networks get their own version of each idea.

Nothing goes out without your yes, unless you want it to

Review mode puts every post in an approval queue and publishes only what you approve. Full autopilot is a switch you choose to turn on.

Monthly billing on both sides, each tool in its own unit (Blotato: per workspace). Three brands on Quetzal are three workspaces on one agency invoice, each 10% off. An account is one connected social profile.

Switching from Blotato
